I'm making a prediction: winter is coming fast and hard
I was out working in my garden when noise made me look up. Geese and all matter of bird was high-tailing it out of Iowa. Seriously, it was like something out of The Birds. LOL!

The animals who are in a life-death struggle with Gaia know her patters much better that us humans. My money is with them.

So, finish up that weather-proofing, folks.

3. We had an unusually cold spell here in North FL.
a week or so ago. The weather has been fine lately.
I hope you aren't right, or more correctly the birds aren't right.
But I suspect you/they are.
Time to break out the fullsuit and deal with it. Oceanwater temps are already down to 70 degrees.

7. Well, then it will bury us all in the bleakness of despair
We will rue the day we ever tried to challenge winter. We tried to fight winter through out the summer, but now it will be high time for the comeuppance of our arrogant lives. Hi Ho, it's off to starvation we go.

Ah, the wispy cry of melancholy and odd poetic language.

:scared:

9. UGH!
I'm really dreading the snow and ice... the cold I can deal with but the snow and ice just making living rather pissy.

I'm right between the Bay and the Potomac, in Southern Maryland. Any predictors I should look out for? :dunce:

15. you know it's november right?
if anything that seems like a late migration date to me for waterfowl but i'm not too familiar w. iowa

our ducks have been shortstopped for several yrs because it just doesn't get cold enough anymore for them to come this far south
